A body is discovered in a bag by the river. Authorities initiate an investigation. Using statistics, predictions are made about the offender's profile including that there is a 31.3% probability the offender is a white male, and a 90% probability the offender is white or male. Additional analysis finds a 78.9% probability the victim and offender are the same age group, and a 21% probability they are different age groups. The report concludes with a prediction that the victim is a white male over 18 years old, and the offender is a black male over 18. However, a preliminary forensic report reveals the victim is actually a white female in her 30s. This changes the probability calculations about the offender's profile.
